ALANA’S MEMORABLE MOMENT:
There were so many good moments, but the most memorable was having my exclusive with Louis Vuitton and spending the week with them. It was really inspiring and I felt very privileged to have that experience. My other great moment was having coffee with my agents at the hotel and Alexander Wang had just finished his show for Balenciaga. He came in and goes “Hi Alana” and it really hit me I was like “you know my name!” It was cool, I’ll never forget that.
